Abstract:A mutant strain of S. typhimurium that is disturbed in the regulation of cell division and macromolecular synthesis is described. The life cycle of the mutant can be divided into two discrete stages. When growing in rich medium at a low cell density, cell division is inhibited and the cells filament at the same time as the relative amount of RNA shows a continuous increase. However, at a certain stage, RNA synthesis stops and the filaments start to septate resulting in chain‐formation. These chains can thereaf… Show more
